Strawberries, rhubarb and honey are simmered over gentle heat to create this simple compote.

I love the combination of strawberry and rhubarb, it's one of my favorite pie fillings but it's also wonderful as a compote to eat for breakfast over Greek yogurt or crepes, or for dessert I love it warm with a little frozen yogurt. What do you like to do with fruit compote?

I had the hardest time finding rhubarb, if you can't find any in your area you can use just the strawberries instead. You can use agave, sugar, stevia or Splenda in place of honey, this would be 0 points plus with stevia or Splenda.

OMG! This looks so yummy! I usually eat my plain greek yogurt with a tablespoon of all natural peanut butter, but will definetly be trying this for half the calories! I used to love to have compote over pancakes instead of syrup, I bet this would be great that way....or over homemade waffles! Not exactly diet friendly, but I will definetly be making this for my mothers day brunch next sunday!

Compote & chutney are my favorite things to do with extra fruit or fruit that's about to go. I will be looking for rhubarb at the markets now! I second all the comments about Greek yogurt and pancakes, too!

I made this tonight, using both frozen rhubarb (from our friends' garden) and strawberries. I served it over frozen vanilla yogurt. It is really good! We felt like we were cheating on our Weight Watchers' diet.

This looks incredible Gina, thanks for the idea. I've been using greek yogurt a lot lately - i love the rich taste and low points plus value! This would be awesome with a little lemon juice or grated rind in it - would bring out the tarty taste of the rhubarb. Strawberries and rhubarb are my favourite late spring fruit combination. We used to grow both of these on the farm i grew up on here in Canada. I can't wait till they are in season here so i can make jam! (I have yet to devise a low points version of that). :)

I made this last night using Splenda- doubled the recipe and was sure I had made too much. 24 hours later and I have finished half, it is so yummy! I had it with yogurt and granola for breakfast and afternoon snack and have had it with home made yogurt based whipped cream tonight- so good!

I made this for friends the other evening with just strawberries. (Rhubarb is $7/lb here!) Served it on greek yogurt with a little crumbled graham cracker on top for a bit of crunch and it was delicious!!! I've been craving strawberries for the past few weeks, and this is the perfect way to have them.

YUM! Made this over the weekend (raided the neighbor's rhubarb while they are out of town). I ended up with more rhubarb than strawberries. We ate it over vanilla bean frozen yogurt....delicious! Like rhubarb pie ala mode without the crust.

I just got FREE rhubarb from this lady down the street, just had it out with a cute little sign. I will be making this this week! I think this would be fabulous over tart or chocolate frozen yogurt. Looking forward to trying it!!

Gina- I found your site this am and have ziplisted probably 50 recipes so far. They all look fabulous! I've cooked nearly exclusively from Cooking Light for years, so I'm thrilled to try your recipes. I'm making your strawberry compote to use on your Strawberry Swirl Cheesecake and leave off the jam- I'll let you know how it turns out. Waiting for the book/app!!
